Breguet Watches
Abraham-Louis Breguet was a famous Swiss watchmaker in the late-18th Century and early-19th Century who settled in Paris, France. One of his most loyal clients was Marie-Antoinette. Other notable owners of Brequet watches include Napoleon Bonaparte, Queen Victoria, Sir Winston Churchill and Russian Tsar Alexander I.
Breguet was known for his originality, fine workmanship and elegance - as are the watches that bear his name today. Breguet invented the turbillion mechanism, the parachute shock-absorber and the "Breguet overcoil" balance spring. These were all major technological innovations in the watch industry and they are still in use today.
The BREGUET TRADITION watch (ref. 7027) was voted “Watch of the Year 2005” by a jury of professionals from the Montres Passion and Uhrenwelt trade publications.
Montres Breguet SA is now a member of the Swatch Watch Group. The company has invested millions of dollars in the ongoing development of knowledge, technology and quality of every timepiece they manufacture. For over 200 years, watches made by Breguet have, and continue to, represent the pinnacle of watchmaking. Annual production is limited to 10,000 to 15,000 pieces a year.
A special watchmaking school was created for the express purpose of providing the highest level of training for new watchmakers and service technicians. Nicolas G. Hayek, President of Breguet, spearheaded this project in order to develop new and innovative movements as well provide the highest level of service to their customers.
All Breguet watch movements are either manual or automatic mechanical movements and many current models have exclusive movements not found in any other brand of watch. There are four collections for men and ladies - Classique, Marine, Heritage and Type XX. There is also one special collection each for men and for ladies.
Breguet watches are well known for their unique offset dials and intricate hands as well as the exquisite use of materials. Most cases are made of gold or platinum. Many of the ladies models have diamonds set into the bezel and even the dial. The Type XX Chronograph collection, originally designed in the 1950's for the French Naval airmen, offers several models with stainless steel cases and bracelets.
Most models are priced between $10,000 and $25,000. Special edition models and platinum case models can go for more than $100,000.

Latest Breguet Watch News, Info and Updates
Used Breguet Watches - If the five-figure price tag for a brand new Breguet watch is holding you back, then you might want to check out "pre-owned" or used Breguet watches. And don't worry about them being "second-hand" (no pun intended!) The timepiece Winston Churchill wore all his life was a Breguet watch given to him in 1901.
